Abstract
Background: Planter fasciitis is an inflammatory and disabling condition that needs
outmost assessment of the total biomechanical system regarding function of ankle and
foot. The fascia itself may be a representative cause for painful ambulation sometimes
the entire muscular system of lower limbs even back can be involved responding to
mechanical impediment of the fascia in sole of foot. Hence the flexibility of fascia as
well as the normalization of muscle tension of surrounding structure can enable
comprehensive care and modulates the outcome of physiotherapy. Aim: The aim of
the study is to determine the effectiveness of specialized myofascial release
(Shahadat’s structural Diagnosis and Management) along with physiotherapy
interventions in Planter fasciitis. Methodology: Experimental design of quantitative
research which was Randomized Controlled Trail (RCT) sign was conducted in the
exploratory investigation. It was a single blinded investigation where the members
were blinded. Result: 30 patients has been randomly assigned to shahdat’s MFR and
control group. Till now, this is the maiden study in on Shahadat’s Structural diagnosis
and management. The approaches found as a scientific based approach to improve the
impairments related to pain, dysfunction, ROM, disability and overall health for the
patient’s with planter fasciitis. The result concludes both group had significant
improvement from baseline, hence Shahadat’s specialized MFR is superior in
improving range of motion of ankle. Conclusion: The study needs to be strengthen
concentrating on the limitations and also implementation to the findings in imperial
phases is necessary to elevate the treatment approaches in patients having planter
fasciitis or planter heel pain.
Key words: Planter fasciitis, shahadat’s Structural diagnosis and Therapy, MFR
